What I just figured out about CTD and ammo

[paprotective 362]

Ok.. I was playing with pricing for 223 ammo for my AR..

 

I added 14 boxes of PMC Bronze for $5.55/box to the cart.. shipping was $18..

 

so then I added 1 box of Silver Bear to the mix to TRY 1 box thru my rifle maybe.. shipping went to $30..

 

so I subtracted 1 box of the PMC figuring that would make the weight difference.. NOPE.. still $30 shipping.. WTF!!

 

I think CTD is charging more for the foreign ammo shipping.. they figure more people will by the CHEAP Russian ammo.. hence the UPCHARGE on the shipping..

 

I ended up ordering the PMC by itself for $0.34/round for 280 rounds.. which isn't bad for my small buy..

 

lowest other place for it is SGAmmo for $0.352/round for the same amount..

 

Go play with it and mix and match US and FOREIGN ammo and see what happens when you estimate the shipping on the cart page.

Nice to know, and just to let to know cabellas have 420 rounds of the military federal 62 grain on stripper clips in a ammo can for $150.

Palmetto has the same 62gr FMJ for $129 + $10 shipping..

 

the downside is some ranges don't allow STEEL core penetrator.. which this 62gr stuff is (XM855)..

 

and it works to $0.33/round (shipped from Palmetto)

 

my range (in NJ) is one of them...

Weird, but I have a Cabela's store in town, so I just have my order delivered to the store for me to pick up there! No shipping charges, period, and I think you can order PMC and Silver Bear 5.56/.223 ammo at Cabela's.
